GOLF
In a change of pace from traditional stroke play, the Hastings boys’ golf team hosted Lakewood in a head-to-head match play format at The Legacy at Hastings on Wednesday. While the Saxons ultimately fell 4.5-1.5, the event marked another important step in their efforts to make Hastings golf a destination for the format.
Junior Dan Jensen continued his strong season by earning a 2&1 victory in the #1 pairing, securing Hastings' only full point. Andrew Barton added half a point with a hard-fought all square result in match #2.
The remaining pairings saw close battles across the board. Bronson Elliot (3&1), Cayden Cappon (2&1), and Hunter Pennington (1 down) each came up just short in competitive matches, while Nate Traver fell 5&3 to round out the scoring.
Match play—where golfers compete to win individual holes rather than tally total strokes—is not commonly played at the high school level. However, the Hastings program is working to change that by hosting several match play events against local opponents this season, with plans to make it a recurring tradition.
“This format really sharpens a different side of a golfer’s game,” said Coach Schueller. “It’s about strategy, pressure, and staying focused. We’re proud to offer this experience to our Saxon golfers and other local teams.”
The Saxons will return for another match play event on Friday as they continue to build momentum through the spring season.
